I think the story itself is made better through the dialogue and without interruption.
It also missed the mark with the cutscenes, which often distract rather than add to the experience. I leave this with a disappointment as the third one took the right lessons gameplay-wise from the horrible second one but couldn't offer anything more meaty content-wise. Even to veterans who hacked and slashed their way through the predecessors should think twice before taking this on. I wouldn't recommend this to new players as it assumes you've taken part in the former instalments.
In conclusion, Shadow Warrior 3 lands, gameplay-wise, better than the second, but overall is the weakest title in the series. Both Doom Eternal and Shadow Warrior (2013) are better experiences than the third, at this point. Some may love this for what it is, at the same time the price is pretty high for what you get if you compare it to the competition.
SHADOW WARRIOR 1 CUTSCENES FULL
There's no co-op like in the second to make up for the short duration, instead you pay full price for an extremely linear 3-4 hour campaign. At the same time, I find that just as it starts, it's over. They are often quite short and I don't think they add to this experience. These constantly interrupt the action bits, are lower resolution than the game itself, and don't look quite as good. Another aspect of this title I don't really think works are the cutscenes. After a number of arenas towards the end it starts to feel a bit repetitive in a way the original didn't. The problem I have with this third instalment is that the battles can't really save this game. You're constantly encouraged to use this with your other abilities to chew through any monsters that stand in your way, but it's worth noting that you will constantly need to prioritise certain enemies over others in order to survive. These can range from homing throwing stars to two machine guns that literally shred through foes. However, it does something Doom didn't offer and gives you an ability or that enemy's weapon for a short while. You can, when a meter fills up kill an enemy on the spot, which usually takes a bit too much time. However, the finishers could be a bit faster. I like this aspect and it adds a bit to the battles being constantly engaging. In battles you can run on walls and use a grappling hook to be constantly mobile. The system is quite robust, but also a little limited in its design, however, I feel after several hours with this that it's not quite in the same league as Doom when it comes to the rhythm of the game mechanics. This too can be upgraded as well as other things like health. You also have a magical power that allows you to blast away enemies that have swarmed you. This meant that enemies died fairly immediately.
I upgraded the shotgun pretty quickly to remove the need to reload and to shoot in fully automatic mode.
SHADOW WARRIOR 1 CUTSCENES UPGRADE
Instead, you collect special bullets that can be used to upgrade weapons with more effects. Many of the newer customisable features that were added in the second game are not present here.
